Every once in a millenia, a news article arrives that makes one think, “Hey, this is a hilarious joke! You go “The Onion!”, you have made me laugh yet again at your crazy fake story antics!”. But alas, after reading the article, you suddenly become aware that the story isn’t made up, it’s REAL! And the laughing that had ensued at the first thought now increases at the realization that the story actually did happen, and it’s the funniest thing in the world, and then your head explodes.

This is not that article.

But it’s close.

According to the LA Times, two of Paris Hilton’s SEVENTEEN dogs were eaten Wednesday night by coyotes. Yes, two tiny dogs were snarfed up during the night at her Hollywood Hills home. Now, this makes me wonder how she knew they were coyotes, and that the dogs just didn’t run away to escape the constant ribbing from the neighbor dogs that they are owned by that “airhead blond”, and that all they are to her are “trophy dogs”, and she only loves them for their looks.

Maybe their tiny little legs were found in a pile, surrounded by two glittering collars, while the coyotes howled with glee in the distance. A gourmet meal, but probably a little rich…

I’m very saddened to hear that Ray Boltz has come out and admitted being homosexual. This will send waves of controversy through the Christian community. His divorce is final. He is performing at a church that openly supports the LGTB (Lesbian, Gay, Transexual, Bisexual) lifestyle, and is now living a “normal gay life.”

The article is easily found online, and his website states he is performing at the aforementioned church. I will not link to the article, as it’s posted on a gay online magazine (The Washington Blade), most filters will probably block the website. There are excerpts easily found online.

How do I feel about this? Well, I think it’s important that he took care of it to his family and friends, but I question the wisdom of Ray coming out publicly to a magazine. I wish he would have kept this more private. He had some very powerful and popular gospel songs (Thank You, I Pledge Allegiance, and more). The lifestyle he now leads is clearly spoken against in Scripture and does not mesh with his past ministry. They are separate issues, and now one, in my opinion, has tarnished the other. Christians should still treat Ray with love and respect, and pray for him.

Here is what happened to Christine of America’s Got Talent’s Russian Bar Trio act. This is a copy of their post. Excuse their grammar and spelling. They are French-Canadian, I believe. According to their website:

Hello Every one.

We just want to say thank you for all your suport. Christine is doing well. She is recovering very quickly. For those who want to know what happened, she just twisted her ankle while jumping down the bar on the edge of this matress. Very stupid incident. So with a twisted ankle you will agree that it hard to jump on this bar. She will be ok probally just a little bit too late for the live final of AGT. So we have been forced to drop out. We are very sorry for all our fans. We promisse you that you will still hear from us. For now until Christine will be ready to be back, we have a backup Flyer. She is doing well. We are still playing in Spain with the backup till the mid of september.

I caught the tail end of the three day interview that Dr. James Dobson had with Steven Curtis Chapman. It’s very good. You can find it by clicking on the right side (Family radio tab) of the main page, the “Daily Broadcast” link. The three parts are called “The God of All Comfort”. Linked HERE.

One of the cool things that Dr. Dobson mentioned was how the secular interviews didn’t catch onto the spiritual aspect of the story, which was the biggest gist of their whole experience.

Also, thank you to all our readers! In only five months, we’ve reached 14,000 webpage views! Thanks!!

Here is the first interview that Steven Curtis Chapman has done since the tragic death of his young daughter. It’s very moving, and a testament to their faith and strength as a family. What he said to his son is absolutely amazing, and reflects a father’s true unconditional love.

Also, unfortunately one of my favorite acts on America’s Got Talent will NOT be performing in the semi-finals. The Russian Bar Trio’s female performer was seriously injured while practicing, so they lost their spot in the show. Bummer! Hopefully she will be okay. Check out their INCREDIBLE videos HERE.
